Arundhati Roy Romanticises Maoist Violence Again

Arundhati Roy's article in Outlook : Walking With the Comrades

Rebuttals :
Moonwalking With The Comrades by Anirban Gupta Nigam in Outlook / Kafila
Maostan of Arundhati Roy by Salil Tripathi in Mint
9 is not 11, 10 is not 13 and We are not stupid, Ms.Roy by Aditya Kuvalekar  (The Backbencher's Blog)

My take : She should have kept to writing fiction. May be she has.

    I had bought this issue of OL specifically for her. Her fascination with violence scares me, its almost Tarantino-esque in its fury now.

    The real downfall of India started when the Khajuraho temples were built. The public display of eroticism is against Hinduism. The Khajuraho temples were built from 950 AD - 1150 AD. And shortly after that, Shahabuddin Ghori invaded India in 1175. The erotic sculptures in the Khajuraho temples need to be "broken" out and replaced with beautiful "paintings" of Hindu Gods. There is an argument that these foreign rulers saved India from Mongol invasion, but if Khajuraho temples were never built, even Mongols would have been defeated. Even Alexander the Great attacked India but failed, although western historians made another story out of it but Alexander was defeated. No one who won India ever returned back. Only those who were defeated returned back. For India to regain its old glory, Khajuraho temples and other temples where erotic sculptures/paintings are displayed, they need to go. Pornography is against Hinduism. One can have as much sex as one wants but adultery and pornography is against Hinduism. The erotic sculptures in the Khajuraho temples and other temples need to be "broken" out and replaced with beautiful "paintings" of Hindu Gods. And then India will rise and will remain at the top.
